vijaykm@eedsp.gatech.edu (Vijay Madisetti) (07/20/90)

	                  - Final Call for Papers -
                              ACM, IEEE, SCS
          WORKSHOP ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION (PADS)
	   (Formerly, the "Distributed Simulation Conference")
	        Jointly Sponsored by SCS, IEEE-CS, and ACM
			January 21-23, 1991
		Disneyland Hotel, Anaheim, California, USA

All papers related to the execution of continuous or discrete simulation
programs on multiple processor computing systems are invited.
Papers may deal with simulation on systems ranging from geographically
distributed computing systems to tightly coupled multiprocessors
and SIMD machines.  Specific topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

+ Methods for distributed or parallel simulation, discrete, continuous,
  or combined
+ Concurrent simulation methods for particular classes of systems
+ Concurrent graphics and animation for simulation
+ Concurrent real time simulation (e.g., flight simulators, robot control)
+ Machine architectures for concurrent simulation
+ Programming constructs and languages for concurrent simulation
+ Performance evaluation methods and empirical studies of concurrent simulators

Papers must contain original contributions that have not been previously
reported in the literature.  SIX copies of full papers are due JULY 31, 1990.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by September 30, 1990.  Camera ready
copy is due October 31, 1990.  Submissions with a cover letter stating the
name, address, and phone number of each author should be sent to:

			Associate Program Chairman
			    Richard M. Fujimoto
		School of Information and Computer Science
			Georgia Institute of Technology
			  Atlanta, Georgia  30332
		fujimoto@prism.gatech.edu, (404) 853-9384

A double blind review will be used where referees do not know the identity
of authors, and vice versa.  Authors must not include descriptive information
in the paper that will identify themselves. (Bibliographic references should
be modified so as not to reveal the author's identity).

Papers must be in English.  Submissions will be accepted as either regular
(8 pages) or short papers (4 pages), at the discretion of the program
committee.  Papers that are judged to be of an especially high quality will
be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation for
consideration in a planned special issue on concurrent simulation.
